Routes to the city: a number of 400-series highways serve Toronto. Highway 401 intersects the city slightly north of the city centre, connecting with London and Windsor to the west and Montreal to the east. Further north, a new toll motorway, Highway 407, operates as a northern corridor around the city. The QEW (Queen Elizabeth Way) runs along the lakefront from Hamilton and Niagara Falls to the Downtown of Toronto. North–south routes include Highway 400, running from Barrie to the city’s west end, and Highway 404, running from the distant suburb of Newmarket to the city’s east end, becoming the Don Valley Parkway as it nears Downtown. Within the city centre, taxis can be hailed at almost any time and can be found at taxi ranks or ordered by telephone. Most taxis operate as part of one of Toronto’s major dispatching companies.

Traffic is heaviest during the rush hours (07:30-09:30 and 16:30-19:30), particularly on the major motorways leading in and out of the city. Toronto is laid out on an easy-to-follow grid system, with a few notable exceptions, such as the Don Valley Parkway, snaking along the ravine east of the city centre. Yonge Street, allegedly the longest street in the world, is the city’s main thoroughfare, bisecting the city centre into east and west. Its junction with Bloor Street forms the city’s most major and central intersection. Although there is a lot of street parking available, it is notoriously difficult to find a spot and many drivers opt for the simpler, although slightly more expensive, option of parking in a private car park.
